Central American LoCos are listed in NorthAmerica

[Leo Arias]

Ubuntu teams from El Salvador [1], Honduras [2] and Nicaragua [3] are listed as part of North America.

Please add a new group called Central America and add the teams there.

Thanks for the great work.

Teams are listed by continents and Central America is not a continent.

That's new to me... I thought America was one continent.
But if wikipedia says so, then I'm North American.

thanks.

This bug is still invalid. The countries are in the continent of North America, as per the links provided.

[Leo Arias (elopio)]

Hey Chris. This is actually an opinion. Take a look at [1] and you will see that there are a lot of ideas of what a continent is. Some people will like to argue that North America is the worst tag for the central countries, so I'll revert the status to let them "continue the discussion".

pura vida.

Hi...

I've changed the status bug in order to continue with the discussion.

I believe that, without neglecting the scientific contribution of geographers, geologists and other specialists in fields of geopolitics, if we consider the region as it really is defended, a continent, consideration should be the name America, which I think much more valid than any other.

Still, I think it's important to take into account the socio-cultural and historical realities of the countries of Central America, whose characteristics differ greatly from the countries of North America (except for some areas of Mexico).

In that sense, it is important to note that Central America has a similar story among the countries that form from the process of colonization to independence and current constitution, which makes it much more true to create a category for these countries.

Hello everybody, if the organization is by continent, as Chris says, then are valid any of the combinations found in [1].
I agree with Rodrigo that the best convection will be to use "America" as whole.

And in any case, North America is not a continent. The continent is America.
